Chapter 675: The Sword of the Lips (Part II)
The book is picked up again.
"......" After Guo Tu heard Cao Cao's words, his mouth seemed to be stuffed with a handful of coptis, it was too rude to spit it out, but it was uncomfortable to swallow it, and he couldn't say a word in a daze.
Cao Cao looked at Guo Tu, who was already stunned, and there was a look of disdain in his eyes.
As an emissary, it was so disappointing to be speechless after just a little blow.
However, Guo Tu was not under his command, so he didn't bother to pay attention to his reaction, so he asked, "Mr. Guo, why did you come here today?" ”
"Ahem...... After hearing Cao Cao's knowingly questioning words, Guo Tu finally came back to his senses, coughed, cleared his throat and said, "My lord ordered a certain family to come and ask for two gentlemen. ”
"Two gentlemen?" After Cao Cao heard Guo Tu's words, he pretended not to know and asked, "Which two gentlemen?" ”
"......" Guo Tu was stunned for a while when he heard this, then looked at Cao Cao with complicated eyes and said, "Why does Cao Gong ask knowingly?!" A certain family is talking about Zhang and Xu You. ”
Guo Tu never thought that Cao Cao was still pretending to be stupid, so he simply made it clear.
Anyway, he was embarrassed enough today, and it wouldn't be a big deal to lose someone again.
"These two......" After Cao Cao heard Guo Tu's words, he took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said slowly: "What does these two have to do with Brother Ben?" ”
When Guo Tu heard this, he looked at Cao Cao with puzzled eyes, he didn't believe that Cao Cao didn't know that these two people were under Yuan Shao's command, why did he ask more?
However, there is nothing to hide now, so after Guo Tu coughed, he replied: "These two people are the ministers and military generals under the command of my lord.
I also hope that Cao Gong will raise his noble hand and put the two of them back, and my lord will be grateful. ”
"Smack!" After Cao Cao heard the words of the pot head, he slammed the tea cup in his hand on the table, and asked with a displeased face: "How can this be reasonable!"
Since these two people are under the command of your father-in-law, why did they rob and kill a certain family when they first entered Xuzhou, is this your father-in-law's idea?! ”
"This ......" Guo Tu didn't know how to answer after hearing Cao Cao's words.
Although he also knew that his lord and Cao Cao were already on the same page, no one had lifted the last fig leaf.
Because they both know that now is not the time for a decisive battle.
Even though the two of them wanted to kill each other immediately, on the surface, the two of them were still as close as brothers.
Therefore, although they continue to use secret methods, they have never shown hostility to each other on the surface.
Even if Yuan Shao's army pressed the border, it was in the name of clearing out the bandits.
After a long while, Guo Tu finally thought of it
An excuse that can be said in the past, he said: "Please forgive Cao Gong, those two gentlemen did not mean to embarrass Cao Gong."
The reason why they came here with a large army was because my lord felt that Cao Gong's initial grasp of Xuzhou would definitely be insufficient.
Therefore, my lord asked these two gentlemen to come to the aid of Cao Gong with tens of thousands of troops.
But they didn't expect that these two gentlemen were captured by the Taishan thief Zang Ba as soon as they arrived here.
Forced into desperation, the two generals could only be held hostage by Zang Ba to attack Cao Gong. ”
After saying this, Guo Tu pretended to let out a long breath, and said with a happy face: "Fortunately, the Ji people have their own natural appearance, although Cao Gong was outnumbered, but in the end he also won the victory. ”
After Cao Cao heard Guo Tu's words, his eyes narrowed, and he asked, "In this way, a certain family still misunderstood Brother Benchu?"
Should a certain family write a letter to Ben Chu Brother to thank him?! ”
After saying this, there was a hint of murder in his eyes.
He didn't expect Guo Tu to be so shameless, Cao Cao, who said this reversal of black and white, was furious, and he almost couldn't hold back the killing intent in his heart.
"Ahem......" After Guo Tu heard Cao Cao's words, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he also knew that his words were too shameless.
Therefore, after he coughed dryly twice, he shook his head and comforted with a smile: "All this is a misunderstanding, and Cao Gong doesn't have to care too much."
A certain family came today to ask Cao Gong to raise his noble hand and put the two gentlemen back.
After all, all this is not their fault, but a misunderstanding under the mistake.
If Cao Gong still doesn't understand his hatred, then he will cut that Zang Ba with a thousand knives, and everything is caused by him. ”
"......" Cao Cao was speechless after hearing Guo Tu's words.
He wanted to be angry, but he also knew that now was not the time to turn his face.
Yuan Shao didn't want to go to war, and neither did Cao Cao, neither of them was ready now.
Therefore, although Cao Cao was angry, he also knew that Guo Tu's words were also a step.
"Alas......" After Cao Cao sighed a little aggrievedly, he gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, let's invite those two gentlemen first." ”
After finishing speaking, he instructed one of the guards on the side, "Go and invite Zhang Xuyu and the others." ”
"Whoa!" The guard answered, and then slowly withdrew.
After the guards left, Cao Cao looked at Guo Tu expressionlessly and said, "Mr. Guo, some time ago, a certain family didn't know that these two gentlemen were under the command of Brother Benchu.
So when a certain family treats them, it is inevitable that they will be rude, and I hope that Mr. will not blame them. ”
"It's okay...... it's okay" After Guo Tu waved his hand, it was full
He said indifferently: "The so-called ignorant are not guilty."
Cao Gong didn't know the identities of the two of them, he only thought that they were thieves, so it was normal for him to be rude to them, as long as his life was worry-free. ”
Guo Tu's words are all sincere, he has no friendship with Xu You, and Xu You is still his enemy seriously.
Therefore, as long as Xu You and the two are not dead, Guo Tu can make a difference, so he doesn't care if Xu You and the two suffer any humiliation!
However, things always go unexpectedly, and after a while......
"My lord, people have brought it."
After Cao Cao heard the guard's words, he ordered loudly: "Bring the two gentlemen in again." ”
"Whoa!" After hearing Cao Cao's order, the guards immediately waved their hands and said to the soldiers who were escorting Zhang and Xu You: "Go in!" ”
"Let's go!" When the escort heard the order, they immediately pushed the two into the hall.
"Poof!!" After the two were pushed into the hall, Zhang Du still stood calmly.
Xu Yu on the side was different, he was pushed by the soldiers, and he collapsed to the ground like a ball of soft mud.
"This ......" Guo Tu's eyes widened after seeing the situation of these two people, and his face was full of disbelief, because the difference between these two people was too great.
Zhang's body was clean and unharmed, and his face became a little whiter than before.
He didn't look like a captive, but like he had come to Cao Cao for a vacation.
Compared with Zhang, who was unscathed, Xu You was much more miserable.
At this time, Xu You's body was in tatters, and he could smell the stench and blood on him from afar.
And Xu You's face also had a few more whip marks, his face was pale, and his lips were dry like a porcelain that was about to break, and he looked like he had been tortured.
Not only that, because of being pushed by the soldier, Xu You is now lying on the ground, his eyes closed, as if he was unconscious and as if he had died.
Seeing this, Guo Tu's face changed, and he hurriedly ran to Xu You's side, squatted down, and put his trembling fingers on Xu You's person to probe......
"Huh......" After perceiving it for a while, Guo Tu let out a long breath.
Although Xu You looked weak, he was not dead yet, he was only temporarily unconscious.
Although Guo Tu and Xu You did not deal with each other, seeing Xu You's tragic situation now, Guo Tu inevitably felt sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
Therefore, he stood up with a gloomy face, turned his head, and asked Cao Cao, "Gong Cao, you and Xu You have known each other, and you can be regarded as friends, right?!"
Even if you don't know that he's my lord, you should recognize him, right?!
Why are you doing this?! That's how you treat your friends?! ”
